wxWidgets Discussion Forum

Glad to hear that someone else is experiencing the same issue (one always wonders if it's just your own setup or a general issue). I have cross-referenced your earlier ticket in mine (didn't delete mine since it was based on sample code that came with wxWidgets and that is sometimes helpful). Have y...

wxRichTextCtrl works wonderfully for me in wx2.8.12 but I 'm seeing line-wrapping issues in 2.9.2 - even the sample code for wxRichTextCtrl shows up the problem. Wondering if anyone else is seeing the same issue.

Outputs from both versions (wxRichTextCtrl sample code) are shown in the attachments

hmm. doesn't look like wxStaticText can do what you wantto do.

Perhaps you might want to try wxRichTextCtrl. It also has single/multi-line line wxTextCtrl.

Can you explain in more detaill what you mean here by 'auto-resize' ?

OK, here is how I solved the issue. I'm sharing the code so that others can benefit. No warranties, expressed or implied; use at your own risk. 1. Create a custom renderer that will render into a smaller rectangle within the grid cell's window. Here I made one that will take a left and right margin ...

may be somehow the 'visible' portion of the grid is getting covered by something else? sounds like the scrollbars may be there but you are actually not able to see all of it- i.e. the bottom portion may be getting cut off from visibility somehow.

Just an addendum: you 'can' hide the cursor as follows (this does not remove the cursor, just hides it visually) mygrid.SetCellHighlightPenWidth(0); But one question to ask is: how did the user 'select' the last row to begin with? If this was done by clicking on a cell in the last row, the cursor sh...

OK, I found a more elegant solution to this and am posting in case it helps others. 1. Create a derived class of "wxGridCellTextEditor' class - this class works just like "wxGridCellTextEditor' - it wil let user cut/paste but will not let user modify the text in the cell. (Disclaimer: Use code at yo...

Spent a little time finding this (and search in forum did not yield anything for me ) so I thought I'll post this in case it will be helpful to others. To create a paragraph with a hanging indent (i.e. the second and subsequent lines of the para are offset from the first line) in wxRichTextCtrl, sim...

Here is a code snippet I wrote for creating a style sheet for a wxRichTextCtrl, and thought I'll share it in case it will be of use to others. You can probably modify it for other types of text control. Public domain. Use at your own risk. Note that I chose to create objects as static instead of cal...

Have you tried ShowScrollbars() ? wxGrid is derived from a wxScrolledWindow for which this is a method.

void ShowScrollbars (wxScrollbarVisibility horz, wxScrollbarVisibility vert)

(please mark as solved if this works for you)

Thanks, doublemax.. Your suggestion was helpful and led me to wxRichTextCtrl which, at this point, looks like it will meet all my needs. wxRichTextCtrl is a really nice control!!!

Additional Note: wxRichTextCtrl is working incredibly well. My thanks to Julian Smart.

I am trying to display some information in a text box - the info might be two lines to a couple of screenfuls and I would like the user to be able to vertically scroll and read it (no editing). I am using a wxTextCtrl in READ-ONLY mode to do this but running into a couple of issues: 1) don't see a w...

thanks, Auria - will check it out.. do appreciate the pointer.

I like to usually let the users size the frame to whatever they desire, and manage the contents to the best of my ability. Users have to juggle multiple apps on their desktop...
